The 4th of July, 2011 lands on a Monday, which means that you can work us starting Friday through Tuesday. Due to popular demand, we will run the event all 5 days like in 2010. Times will be: 12:01 AM Eastern start on July 1st, (That's one minute after midnight, early Friday morning, July 1st) to 11:59 PM Eastern ending on July 5th (One minute to midnight, late Tuesday night, July 5th).

NOTE: One contact with a SC Colonies state is sufficient for credit for that state. Additional contacts on other bands or with the other state stations will not get you any more credit. Please limit yourselves to one contact per state, so that others may have a chance.

This will give the stations with "no gain" antenna's, stations working 100W, QRP/Mobiles and DX a chance to get all "13" too! We are out to have some fun this 4th of July week, and will try to appease everyone.

Have had a blast so far, but some of the colony stations have been very elusive,,,managed to work 11 of the 13 on first day...got number 12 on second day....but K2E is the rabbit I've been chasing...but I'm waiting...wasn't there supposed to be @ least 2 stations form every state? Is there a strike in DELAWARE?
